    What I really don't get is what makes it extreme? Like, if we dont count crab posting when someone shitty dies, or the occasional celebration of violence against cops, which are things you see in one form or another all over the internet... What is the extreme? There are no calls for extermination of nonbelievers, no religious bullshit, no organozing to ambush misterious chud busses passing through your town...

    Is it the whole radicalisation talk? Is it the desire for a large change in society? Or the whole expectation of revolution - that does sound like it...

    I don't know, I don't get it. Is anything beyond a mild disagreement in theory with the system extremism?

      This basically just demonstrates how unpalatable the left is to the status quo.

      "What makes it extreme?"

      Not bending over and worshipping Capitalism, not being happy when someone gets executed by the police. Honestly just close your eyes, throw a dart at anything even remotely Left leaning, and see what you get.

      We want the system to collapse by its own weight or through manufactured conditions; for someone invested in this system that sounds extreme.

      Nah. There's a lot of pretty edgy shit posted frequently enough that I understand it.
